How much does tree removal cost in Roslyn Heights?

Tree removal costs vary based on size, location, and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet typically cost $300-800, while large trees over 60 feet can range from $1,200-3,000. Trees near power lines, buildings, or in tight spaces cost more due to specialized equipment and techniques required. We provide detailed written estimates after assessing your specific situation. Factors affecting price include tree height, trunk diameter, proximity to structures, accessibility for equipment, and whether stump grinding is included. Emergency removals may carry additional charges, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront.

Do I need a permit to remove trees in Roslyn Heights?

Nassau County and local municipalities have specific regulations about tree removal, especially for trees over certain sizes or in protected areas. Generally, you need permits for healthy trees over 6 inches in diameter, but dead or hazardous trees may be exempt. We help determine if permits are required and handle the application process when necessary. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and costs $50-200 depending on the tree size and location. We’re familiar with local regulations and can guide you through the requirements to ensure your tree removal is compliant with all applicable laws.

Can you remove trees near power lines safely?

Yes, but trees near power lines require special coordination and techniques. We work directly with PSEG Long Island and other utility companies to ensure safe removal. In many cases, the utility company must de-energize lines temporarily during removal. We’re trained in electrical hazard awareness and use specialized equipment designed for working near power lines. Never attempt to remove trees touching or near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. We handle all coordination with utility companies and follow strict safety protocols to protect our crew and your neighborhood’s electrical service.

How long does tree removal take?

Most residential tree removals are completed in 4-8 hours, depending on tree size and complexity. Small trees under 30 feet often take 2-4 hours, while large trees or those in challenging locations can take a full day. Complex removals near structures or power lines may require multiple days. Weather conditions, equipment access, and cleanup requirements all affect timing. We provide realistic timeframes during our initial assessment. Emergency removals are prioritized and often completed within 24 hours of your call. We work efficiently while maintaining safety standards – rushing tree removal creates unnecessary risks to people and property.

Will tree removal damage my lawn or landscaping?

Professional tree removal minimizes damage to surrounding areas, but some impact is inevitable with large trees. We use protective measures like plywood over sensitive areas and plan our approach to avoid valuable landscaping. Heavy equipment may leave tire marks on lawns, especially in wet conditions, but grass typically recovers quickly. We can’t prevent all damage – removing a 60-foot oak will impact the immediate area – but we work carefully to minimize unnecessary damage. Our cleanup includes raking disturbed areas and removing debris. If you have specific concerns about valuable plants or lawn areas, discuss them during our initial assessment so we can plan accordingly.

Do you provide emergency tree removal services?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tree removal for dangerous situations. Storm-damaged trees, trees blocking roads, or trees threatening structures qualify as emergencies. We prioritize calls involving immediate safety hazards and typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours, longer during major storms when demand is high. Emergency services carry additional charges due to after-hours work and urgent response requirements. We focus first on making the situation safe – removing trees from houses, clearing blocked driveways, or eliminating immediate hazards. Complete cleanup and stump removal can often wait until regular business hours to reduce your emergency service costs.
